We don't have a "gun control" problem, our society has a "gun education" problem! The police don't have to know what particular gun(s) a register P.A.L. individual has, they know that person is likely to have a legal 'hunting" shotgun or rifle. If a person has a R.P.A.L., it is reasonable to assume this person has in their possession a restricted firearm, hand gun or long gun. It is the majority of people in Canada who has to take their heads out of the sand and get educated by a responsible individual. Unfortunately, they will not!
If you want to take control of a country all you have to do is do what the Nazi,s did take all the guns away from the citizens then you have total control. Its bull**** guns don't kill people people kill people we as a Canadians have the right to own guns, IMO. This is not about gun control its about taken away your freedoms as a Canadian and Control which is bull****. What happens when someone comes on your property and you are unable to protect what is yours or yourself or family, call a cop at Tim hortons and see if he can get to you before you or a family member dies at the hands of some drug crazed lunatic that will only get house arrest because they had a bad up bringing and you suffer the loss of being able to go to work or a family member for that matter. This country needs to tough in up the laws on lunatics that are taken lives/peoples well being cause they feel the need to b an Idiot on dope and get nothing for it. We as people are entitled to quality of life. Just My 2 cents!!
